i also think in the case of the late senator john mccain, he was bitter in the role that john mccain played. he was seen as a conservative. also stood up for his values on immigration. also on obamacare, when republicans were, in his mind, going through his obamacare repeal without having to replace. john mccain gave that famous thumbs down. i think it's notable that the mccain institute which airs at the state university, they're releasing information just yesterday in my inbox with a long list of john mccain's accomplishments because they feel like they have to defend someone who obviously can't defend themselves. as a reminder, john mccain died in august 2018. so, the president is attacking someone who has been dead for more than seven months. add to that the fact that the president is bitter. he was talking about the idea that john mccain had this beautiful funeral and that he had to approve it. at that time, people were saying president trump and all of the presidents at that funeral, they have to be sitting back thinking is that what my funeral is going to look like. i think pr
